80,000 Hours Podcast · #248 – Jasmine Sun on what the people building AI really believe · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

I mean, there was definitely some public scrutiny and reaction to, I believe, like

delivery driver algorithms some time ago.

I know this is just one example.

Do you have a sense of whether this is the classic trend you see in previous waves of automation in China or if it's a little bit different?

I wanna talk now about media coverage of AI because you are someone who works in media and I know that you've observed some effect where in an attempt not to play too much into hype, other media professionals and critics are maybe just not engaging as they should be with the things that advanced AI could do in the future and more speculative things that haven't happened yet.

I'm wondering what your perspective is on like how to report about these things without falling into this trap of generating too much hype.

Yeah, through this conversation and from reading your substack, it does feel like we kind of have unearthed a lot of uncomfortable truths about the AI world.

So yeah, are there any reasons to be hopeful that you want to highlight?

Yeah.

Awesome.

Thank you so much, Jasmine.

I think that's all we've got time for, but you've been a pleasure to have on the show.

Thank you for coming.

Thanks so much for having me.

This is fun.

80,000 Hours Podcast · #246 – Sneha Revanur on how a small team of activists helped pass America's landmark AI safety laws · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

Today I'm speaking with Sneha Ravenor, who pretty remarkably founded a US nonprofit at age only 15.

Now, Sneha's been doing this for about six years now, so I'm just excited to get to talk to her about what she's learned from trying to influence AI policy from the outside through advocacy and through lobbying.

Sneha, thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you for having me.

So when you founded ENCODE, it was focused on immediate societal harms from AI, things like criminal justice, for example.
